CURRENT COMMENT.
The sciDtiliations which Brighton Our
Exchange List.

Exchange List.
Detroit Tribune. Grady's new south Will
have to be put back In the oven aud baked
over. 1t was taken out before 1t was done.
And, by the way, Mr. Grady, don't use the
Glenn baking powder II you wish 1t to rise.
Charleston Neps and Courier! But for
our own good name, and out OF tender
consideration for the sacred memories OF
the past, let Mr.. Davis stay at home: He
is not menagerle, that he should be
dragged away from Beauvoir to be carted
around the ring In Atlanta.
Hartford Post Canada Is exercised over
commercial reciprocity with this coutry. 1t
would he un undoubted good thing for her.
But what would rebound to the credit OF
both countries would be a reciprocity OF
rasculs, by which each others defaulters,
forgers, and boodlers could be brought to
justice.
Boston Globe: Modern history is bewil-
dering. Ii can hardly be called history at
all in the sense in which the old-timc stu
dent used to study civilization, as grlda-
tory march Of social development, cut up
into blocks covering centuries, and con.
sidered as a science called the philosophy
Of history.
Cincinnati Commercial. Gasettc: The
deadly car stove, with new coat OF rust
and dit, collected during the summer, Will
soon be fired up for the winter campaign.
The only railroad company known to have
abolished the stove is the New York Cen
trHl, which has adopted a new system OF
steam pipes.
New York Herald We recognize the
fact, though, that no President can please
every ybody. 1t is good thing to rec Jgnize
another fact at the same time-namely,
that 1t is not his business to please every

has the courage of his convictions, the man
who has hammered out for himself definite
policy, is bound to create enemies. 1t is
only the man Of putty, who has mush In his
Uranium as a substitute Tor brains, who fiat
ters himself that he can satisfy every one
st. Louis Globe Democrat: The fact that
| the Republicans In the recent guberna-
| torial canvass carried four congressional
districts in Kentucky is expected to i'm
press the Bourbons with the importance OF
| gerrymanderinE the state, so that the dis
| trcts may all be made Democratic II possi-
| he. II this scheme is to be carried out at
| all, however, II will have to be comsum
mated soon. There is, so to speak, de-
| cided profusiun OF evidence that the Re
| puhlicans will take possession Of the whole
state within the next three or four years.
New York Star: But how much better 1t
| would be for the south II at least one half
OI tne tremendous area now lnOuOpOllEel
| by cotton were diverted to other agricultu-
raj uses! How much better II the southern
| farmer would set about raising his own
supplies, his own meat and bread, fruits,
dairy and garden products, thus making
himself thoroughly independent as regards
the necessities OF life, and using cotton
merely as surplus articlel Under such "a
policy the south would soon grow rich and
prosperous and populous immeasurably be-
yond any possibility Of the existing system.
Augusta Chronicle There Is every indi-
cation Of thoroughly healthy fall trade OF
unusual volume. The manufacturers have
prepared for 1t by large products; the job
bers are ready with liberal stocks; the re-
ta.lers will present the largest aud most
varied assortments, and financial circles are
serene In the assurance Of a season Of pros
porous legitimate trade. The crops, even
with the partial failure iu the northwest
from the feverest drought known for many
years, are most bountiful; the producing
interests are more nearly free from debl
than at any time during the last quarter oi
century, and all classes are ready to pay
for generous consumption.
